Wo qin'ai de 'Xiao jiepi'

This is a somewhat unlikely love story between a mysophobe and a messy young woman. The set piece of the "accidental" kiss on the elevator is so fake it's embarrassing. The lead actress has the same surprised expression on her face with every encounter - she is the same in every series I have seen her in - she is a poor actress with no acting range.

She also has an annoying habit of wiggling her head about and the strangest shambling run that looks so clumsy. The camera keeps focussing on her mouth - and it really shouldn't because it is not an attractive shape.

With regard to the Asian way of life I find it very odd that young people think it their duty to support male relatives who are perfectly capable of working. I had no sympathy for her alcoholic father who should have taken responsibility for the family he made rather than sponging off them.

Jasper Liu does his best - and is an attractive male lead - but one gets the feeling that this female lead always gets similar parts for the simple reason that she is short of stature and makes her male co-stars look big and heroic. He deserved better.

There follows the usual conflict regarding parents prejudices and historical events between them.

I am curious to know why this series showed the very last scene after every episode. Why bother to watch it after the first episode if we already know the ending?

I had higher expectations for this drama. I loved the main lead on Meteor Garden and On a love so beautiful, but this drama seemed so plain and fake. I didn't feel any chemistry between the leads ( or the rest of the couples for that matter). Anyhow, watch ot if you want something silly and lighthearted to watch when you can skip whole parts of the show without miss anything important.

I cried, laughed and couldnt look away All cast were fabulous. A true gem. Highly recommend. And omg so funny too, ty cast, great job. Loved every bit of it.

This is mostly about three romances. Of the three I found the romance between the influencer-bodyguard/assistant to be the most interesting. But, the main romance isn't bad. The CEO of a cleaning company falls in love with a low-level employee of the company. I actually liked the fact that she is not a classic beauty, but is full of personality.

The CEO is a germophobe (as many translated shows do, they use a much less common, but slightly more accurate synonym - mysophobe). He actually is so attracted to her that he can overcome most of his symptoms around her.

The main thing I didn't like about the show is when they show flashbacks of the grandfather's treatment of the CEO when he was young. This has directly led to his germophobia. Everyone refers to the grandfather's treatment of the young CEO as "strict". I take great issue with that. The grandfather's treatment of his grandson was verbal abuse! There is no other way to characterize it.

At pushing 70, I am not some young woke snowflake. It would have been abuse 60 years ago and it is still abuse today.

Near the end of the show the grandfather suddenly becomes a nice person to all around him. A not very believable, sudden transition. The therapist starts off misusing his position, but also, more subtly, transitions into a better person.

Other than the issues with the grandfather, I found the show fine, with more modern production values than most Asian shows. And, a tiny disappointment that the bad guy never gets his comeuppance.

I came to find this on Netflix and watched it as I recognized Shen Yue. Shen Yue is an amazing actress out of mainland China, and this drama made me love her talent event more. I've watched a few of her other dramas. She can carry a scene so well. I would describe her as emotional and relatable - she MAKES the drama. Don't forget that Chinese criteria for dramas are different from everywhere else so they follow strict guidelines. Also, I don't know what nonsense there is about her acting the same roles. Ive watched people act the same roles all the time. Shen Yue has had diverse characters. She is an actress not. Pop star. She knows how to deliver a scene at such a young age still... I can't wait to see more of her work. I love that she is a unique beauty in China. Alot of Idols try to have that classic look and end up all looking the same. Yue is a natural beauty with angular features, an elegant jawline, big beautiful shining eyes and a very real true to herself personality. Jasper Liu and Shen Yue have a bomb shell chemistry here. Watch the drama! They story line and script carried very well. Great directing.
